Mom Says, Eat Your Veggies—and Join a Union
It’s a fact: If you’re a union member you have better wages, benefits and working conditions—along with a voice at work. But a new Duke University study suggests that labor unions also are good for your health.
The research finds that more unionized U.S. workers consider themselves healthy than do their nonunion counterparts, an indication that membership is good for the body as well as the paycheck, said David Brady, a Duke sociology professor and co-author of the study.
